I like how the design makes it look like Gil is walking past a framed picture of a high school. (Yes, it's "Nat looks through old newspapers" day. You're getting stuck with some of my findings.)

Martians in the news, 1903.

If we let the Jewish refugees in, then the risk is they let us know what is actually going on and then we might have to oppose Hitler. (1938) Those who oppose looking after refugees do not have good history behind them.

If a Wikipedia article claims PW wrote that your book shows "how to access your inner gifts and reshape your whole outer life in the process", someone may replace that with a real PW quote ("lacks any narrative drive, the characters are thinly rendered and the dialogue is almost comically wooden").

The Cartoon Art Museum just sent out a letter announcing that they are closing their location, but will continue as an organization and will take some time to figure out what to do next. Cartoon art museums have always had a rough time in the US. This one lasted a fair while.

While many Reddy Kilowatt appearances (including the one at left) may still be under copyright, he first appeared in 1926 and those appearance's are public domain. And unlike some other recently-PD characters, he'd actually make sense to integrate into a superhero universe.

Alas. ( But season 1 does stand as a complete work and is recommended.)

While people are upset that AI companies are destroying rare books to feed their machine, I think you should look at the upside: you great granny's book about how her cats are the smartest people she knows, the one she paid a vanity press $987 to publish, may help in deciding future missile targets!

Taking a break from my usual mental "collaborated with him, published him, those two were my personal friends..." response to the Thank Yous to ask "what's with the comma between 'Peter David' and 'Mike Deodato Jr.'? Do they think Mike Deodato Jr. is a title Peter held, like 'Prince of Wales'?"

Someone just entered some information on "straight pride parties" on Wikipedia, and all I can think is "those have got to have the world's worst orgies."

"You are working for an undercover FBI agent who told you not to accept my edits." Wikipedia.... always interesting.

“I think that I shall never see a poem as lovely as a tree” she said just before crashing her Dodge Durango into a poem that had somehow escaped her observation

I'm placing my bet now: A.I.-enhanced Douthat.

From back when I used to pitch ElfQuest stories (they had a non-continuity "Worldpool" line, so this isn't utterly off the map.)

If you think high-tech cinema presentation is something new... here's a 1928 ad promoting the audio tech for seeing the 1927 film Wings, the first film ever to win the Best Picture Oscar.

Comic book thievery, the most dastardly of crimes! (from Susabelle by Elton Fax, 1942.)

I have driven cars with some very special features.

Laws may include clues to meanings, but those clues may frustrate: The family code of the Kiowa tribe, who can get married doesn't mention gender, which only suggests acceptance of same-sex pairs. This section switches mid-sentence from husband/wife to a pregnant person having a "he or she" spouse.

And here you thought your problem was Kryptonite!

Just found this 1972 religious piece arguing that if man can invent the Superman character who can do the million-year crushing of carbon into a diamond in an instant, than we should accept that G-d could create everything in an instant. No thought that it suggests Man could "invent" such a figure.
